Headless torso 'could be' journalist missing from Danish submarine

The headless torso of a woman found floating in Danish waters could be that of a Swedish journalist who authorities believe died aboard an inventor's homemade submarine, police said Tuesday.

In a grisly case that has captured public imagination in both countries, Danish inventor Peter Madsen has been accused of the negligent manslaughter of Kim Wall.

Police probing the disappearance of Ms Wall -- who hasn't been seen since she was observed aboard the 18m Nautilus on the evening of August 10 -- said Monday they had found a torso missing its head and limbs in Koge Bay, south of Copenhagen.

"The length of the torso means we cannot rule out that it could be Kim Wall, but we don't know yet," Copenhagen homicide chief Jens Moller Jensen said in a video message released on Twitter.

He said DNA samples had been taken from the torso and would be compared with Ms Wall's. Police were to receive the results on Wednesday.

Chief Jensen said the body's arms, legs and head had been "deliberately cut off".

Mr Madsen, whose website describes him as an "inventepreneur", had initially told authorities that he dropped Ms Wall off on an island late on the evening of August 10.
